Pacifier for breastfed baby?!?

Question

What do you think? When is nipple confusion a concern? Is it a concern at all? Has your baby ever had an issue latching after using a paci?

Answer

Mine started using a pacifier at 5 days because she was using my breast as a pacifier, and the pediatrician recommended it.  She's now 13 days old and has no problems latching or nursing. I was worried I wouldn't be able to tell when she was hungry, but she'll get angry if she's hungry and nothing is coming out.

Answer

My daughter had pacifiers from day one, in hospital and breastfed and had no issues whatsoever between the two.

My son got a pacifier the night he was born, maybe six hours after delivery. He’s also had a perfect latch since delivery and has nursed and drank from a bottle  We’ve tried three kinds of pacis and he’s only taken to two. No nipple confusion for my boy 💙

Answer

I actually hadn't heard of nipple confusion with pacifiers. maybe something to do with it just being for suckling and they don't actually get anything out of them. :)
